As part of its deployment in Southeast Asia, the Russian Navy's new Kilo II-class attack submarine Ufa conducted joint PASSEX exercises with the Malaysian Navy in the South China Sea.
On November 26, the Zona-militar military news site quoted a statement from the Russian Navy confirming that the diesel-electric submarine Ufa, escorted by the Pacific Fleet's rescue tug Alatau, had completed an official visit to Malaysia's Kota Kinabalu port and conducted the above exercise.
The crew of the Ufa also held meetings with the Malaysian Navy to enhance cooperation.
Ufa, a third-generation diesel-electric submarine, is the fourth of six Kilo II-class submarines to enter service.
The submarine has a displacement of about 3,900 tons, a length of 74 m, and an estimated range of 7,500 nautical miles, with the ability to dive to a depth of 300 m. The Ufa is notable for being equipped with modern Kalibr-PL cruise missiles and a variety of torpedoes, including ASuW 53-65 and ASW TEST 71/76.
